Abstract
Since the introduction of external chest compression by Kouwenhoven et al. [1] in 1960, the mechanisms involved in cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have been better understood. Although some factors associated with acute myocardial anoxia and rapid cellular damage have been clarified, advances in pharmacological support have been surprisingly limited.
